Awning foe



Nov. 29, 1927.

i,65l,l60 J. K. SCHWINGER AWNING FOR AUTOMOBILE WINDOWS v File d Sept. 16. 1925 material 15, such as canvas, which may be secured to the frame in various ways. When the awning is appled to the door of an automobile, as in the present instance, the transverse bar 3 of the awning is arranged close to the upper edge oi. the door and I prefer to carry the inner or upper edge of the canvas inwardly acrossthe upper edge of the door and turn a portion of the same down and secure it to the inner surface of the door, as shown at 13, thus causing the canvas to extend across the upper edge of the frame and form awater tight joint at this point. The :anvas then extends downwardly over the inclined upper edges ot the end frames 9 and is secured to the transverse bar 12 at the outer edge of the frame by means of suitable ij'astening devices, as shown at 141. The vertical end portions oi the cover, or flaps, may be termed integral with or separate from the. body ot the cover and are here shown as attached. to the ends of the cover and as extending downwardly beyond the lower er ges ot' the end frame members to which they may be attached in any suitable manner.

lVhile l have shown and described one embodiment of my invention i wish it to be understood that l do not desire to be limited to the details thereol various modifications may occur to a person skilled in the art.

Having now tally described. my invention, what I claim as new and zilesire to secure by Letters Patent, is:

1. The combination with an auton'iobile body having a window, of an awning comprising a i'rame member extending trans .versely to said window above the same and having end portions extending downwardly on the respective sides of said window, and oiit wiirdly extending frame n'ien'ibers rigidly secured to the respective end portions of said transverse frame mend r, cover supported by said frame n en'ibers, and means for securing the first mentioned frame member to said body.
